This is one of a series of similar cases in which the facts, rights and liabilities, are substantially the same. All material legal questions here presented are disposed of in a decision this day filed in the case of Rose v. State of California, No. 16040, ante, p. 713 [ 123 P.2d 505]. Upon the authorities there cited and for the reasons there given, the judgment herein is affirmed.
