In case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena served upon any person, the Supreme Court, in or for any judicial district in which such person is found or resides or transacts business, upon application by the administrator, shall have jurisdiction to issue an order requiring such person to appear and give testimony or to appear and produce documents, or both; and any failure to obey such order of the court may be punished by such court as a contempt thereof.
