Feb. 5, 1903, c. 487, 32 Stat. 799 [U. S. Comp. St. Snpp. 1905, p. 689], provides that for the purpose of recovering a preference any court of bankruptcy, as previously defined, and any state court which would have had jurisdiction if bankruptcy had not intervened, shall have concurrent jurisdiction.
